TTC bubba #1

[Genevive123]

Hi ladies

I'm 23 and my partner (27) and I are TTC baby #1!

It was our first month trying this month and AF is due 2nd/3rd of March, so far just BFN! My cycle is roughly 26/27 days! But didn't expect to get pregnant first cycle so I'm feeling ok 👌🏼

Anyone else TTC baby no 1 with a similar cycle? 🥰 xx

@genevive123 which opks did you order? @kty09 I haven't used pressed but I did get the conceive plus one. OH reached for it the other day in the tww and I was like don't waste it!! Use the other one! It was like £15 for the tiniest tube!!

@Neom87

Femometer xx

@Genevive123 I’m the same but you never know I guess! Yes I’m kinda looking forward to the start of next cycle. I check my app each day thinking god how is it only on this cycle day hurry up already 🤣 feeling impatient as ever! I’m literally so impatient anyway so this isn’t good for me lol.
@Neom87 oh god do you only get a tiny tube haha 🙈 i paid about the same, I saw some threads on here where a few people got their positive the month they started using it, obviously could be coincidence!

@Kty09 haha Yeahh you're right but you know when you just have that feeling ?? Ready for the next two weeks to be over with now! Intact AF is due 29th so not too long actually to wait !! Xx

Got my fingers crossed and praying for our next cycles 🤞🏼🙏🏼 Would love to get my OH the surprise on his birthday 🥺 Ah that’s good then, it is in sight! We still have very similar cycles only within a couple of days. One of my app says due 29th too and one says 27th! X

@Genevive123 exactly the same just have a feeling it won’t be the month. My new set of OPKs arrived today. I’m super excited about next cycle as we have a staycation booked and my ovulation week is the same week! 😄

I’m due AF on 1st April so we are all around the same time. Just feel like I might be more relaxed next month with lockdown slowly easing etc 🤞🏻

@Kty09 that's so exciting we both want next cycle haha! I'd find out literally a couple of days before MIL birthday so desperate to surprise her!! Lol
Wow yes our cycles are sooo similar how many days is yours usually??

@Timetobeamummy you just know when you know don't you! oooh!! which OPKs do you have?? Oh yes a super similar cycle too, I think that's true about the lockdown easing, I'm hoping next cycle is the month so we can see family again a little more making it so much easier for surprising people x

@Genevive123 that would be such a good surprise for her! Well I’ve had two so far one was 24 days and one 26 - I actually forget how soon it is after contraception so my body probably isn’t fully back to normal yet I wouldnt have thought.

So don’t ask me why but I just did a OPK and there was a second line, do you think something shows up throughout the rest of the month too? Have you ever done this after your peak lol?

@Kty09 ooh mines similar usually 25/26!

Hmmm, how many days DPO are you lovely?? Xx

@Genevive123 I am 6DPO according to femometer, I know everyone is different but I can’t help but think it’s strange I got a peak so early - unless that’s just me, I’ve never tracked before. I guess it’ll be a case of keep tracking to find out what’s my ‘normal’. I’ve heard your egg sometimes isn’t mature enough to fertilise if you have an early Ovulation 😕 x

@Kty09 I'll do one now and see what I get back! I haven't tracked after ovulation before but I have just read this online??

@Genevive123 oooh maybe that’s a good thing then! Thank you xx

@Kty09 nothing for me ! I've attached a pic! Ahhh got everything crossed for you!! Xx

@Genevive123 gonna have to do another tomorrow now aren’t I 👀 I’ll keep you updated! Xx

@Kty09 please do!!! so exciting haha!! Xx

How long did you ladies get a peak reading for? Mine is still peak and tbh I'm exhausted but so scared of missing it 😴

[quote Kty09]@taytay2020 I believe the first time you use the CB in your cycle will always be just the O as it kinda sets as a starting point!
What CD are you now? Everyone is soo different I believe the most common is around CD 12-16. I must have ovulated early this month as I surprisingly got a peak on CD9 X[/quote]
@kty09 good knowledge! Thank you, I suspected that was the case too. I'm hoping I've started the CB test early enough, as the one step was also blank yesterday and today. 🤞 I'm on CD10 today and I think I ovulated around CD16 last month (although flo app guessed at day 18), but that might just have been a particularly long cycle.

@xoJellyBean I think about a day and a half lovely ive attached pics ! How longs yours been there??

@Genevive123 mine has been for a day 🤣 I may keel at it then... when did you dtd? Every time you got a peak?

@xoJellyBean that's normal! We DTD on two days before ovulation and the day before ovulation and the day of ovulation. 😂😂 xx

Ahhh feel like I'm so far behind everyone! Cycle day 5 for me today, 9 days until suspected ovulation but we already have started our efforts for this month 😂 I'm gonna be knackered by the end of this cycle but considering we only have 3 cycles till we stop trying I think we are just gonna try take the approach of as much as possible so we try not to miss it!

Omg when am I going to ovulate 🙈 this is so stressful 🤣

@mrskcam we started early too and I am exhausted !! 🤣🤣 how come you are stopping after 3 more cycles? Sorry if you've already explained on this thread 🙈

@xoJellyBean was that test this morning with first morning urine? youre not meant to test with it if so :) it's too concentrated! X

@Genevive123 no it wasn't 🙈

@xoJellyBean you usually ovulate around 24-36 hours after your strongest peak! It's definitely coming down, the test line doesn't look as strong - so I'd say you'll ovulate tomorrow :) get DTD! X
